Reputation System Update

Well after lots of heated discussion about the system and lots of suggestions for how to fix it, we have decided to try the reputation system with only positive rep. This will cut down on trolling and hopefully still motivate people to post higher quality.

I have dropped any negative reputation you may have received in the past.

I have also made the reputation bars require take more reputation to build up.

Since the beginning I have said that we are testing the rep system to see if it can work here. In trying to weigh all the feedback, this seems like a reasonable next step before we abandon the rep system entirely. Use it for a while and let us know what you think.

I still think you should had left 1 block of negative rep available and just never let the block stack, but the -rep could stack.

But your call, let's see how this turns out :)

Yeah there were lots of opinions on this. One of the reasons I went this way is that most negative rep comments that I see has been straight insulting and not constructive or on topic. And even with 1 red block it still leaves room for trolling and abuse.

It does seem like an apt time to remind everyone that rep is not and has never been intended to replace reported posts or infractions. If someone breaks the rules report it and it will be taken care of.

I don't really get what you want to achieve with this rep-system. The most people I speaked to don't care about it anyway, especially because some peoples decided to ask for -rep =)

Its just a choice of the masses how good they like the posts and/or the player, and if you post something true (i.e. nerf MM hunter dmg, rogue has to many cds to spam in the first minutes of a match) you will get downrepped in the classforums.
